[QUOTE="france, post: 463506, member: 57277"] On the French rugby boards and in the French media, Joubert's performance is all the talk--that and how we played a fantastic game. See Libération, for example: "[COLOR=#2E2E2E][FONT=Verdana][URL="http://www.liberation.fr/sports/01012367273-rugby-la-nouvelle-zelande-bat-la-france-8-7"]Malgré un match héroïque, les Bleus s'inclinent en finale contre les Blacks (7-8). Une défaite marquée par des décisions arbitrales contestables.[/URL]" Heroic match on our part and debatable decisions by the ref... Are we not missing something here? Praise our guys all you want and blame the referee if it's going to make you feel better, but don't ignore the obvious: we choked and we choked big time, like we've always choked when it really matters on the world rugby stage. In our position (trailing by one but playing in the opponent's half of the field with more possession than them as was the case in the second half), New Zealand (or Australia, or England for that matter) would have never lost the match. We did... No one else to blame but ourselves. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
